Smash Bros New DLC Fighter Announcement tomorrow at 7am PST!

I'm kinda going with the masses and hoping for crash bandicoot! but really, what I care about more than which character it is, is how the character will play. PPlant is my all-time favourite smash bros character cuz it's heavy, fast, has a great recovery, and special moves which are great in isolation (I'm not big on combo-ing, so like when individual moves can be used skillfully (like that spike ball :p)).

My number 1 want is a character that'll be as fun playing as the plant, then number 2 want is a character I know and love.

Paper mario from SPM would be cool, but we have tons of mario
 
No disrespect to the Lyn/Hector fans out there but another fire emblem character would probably lead to angry gamer boycotts lol

My friends and I are predicting a gen 8 pokemon, not sure whether it'll be a starter or like... urshifu or something.
I wouldn't really be super hyped for a gen 8 pokemon, but none of my wanted characters really have much of a shot realistically so hopefully someone out there gets who they're hoping for.
 
I wish I could be more hopeful about it, but I haven't been super impressed with the choices aside from Joker for this game. Banjo was a good choice too even though I didn't play much of the games he's in. I like Min Min too, but she's definitely at the top of my list. I know they would never add Shadow or Dr. Eggman but those would be my top picks. I would also be very happy if 2B was added to the game.

Is it finally time for my baby to join? Now, when he gets announced it'll be just like the Byleth incident because quote on quote: "He's not who people wanted" and "It's a waste of a character slot" and of course "Another character from the same series that we don't care about"

Then again, those are toxics talking, real fans will be happy with whoever they get. So I sure hope they'll be nice to my son if he's announced. Maybe tomorrow, or maybe another time.

(With New Horizons' new gaming mechanics comes new attacking moves, I'm certain he's gonna be in. He'll definitely use some form of crafting as his attacks.)
 
The character that I'm most interested in being added is Shantae, even though I'm 99.999% sure she'll never be added. I just think she has such potential for an awesome, unique moveset with all of the transformations and even the pirate weapons from The Pirate's Curse.

I'd love to see them add Rillaboom since Grass is my favorite Pokémon type and because it's the only of the Fire/Grass/Water starter trio that doesn't have at least one final evolution on the roster. I like Ivysaur and all, but I want more, you know? I very much don't see this happening either, if it's any Pokémon then it would probably be Cinderace. If it wasn't Decidueye's time last time, I unfortunately don't think it will be Rillaboom's time either. Maybe someday Grass will get some love.

A Mortal Kombat representative like Scorpion would be nice since we have Street Fighter and King of Fighters, but they'd have to figure out a way to balance being true to Mortal Kombat without being over the top violence since there'd be no Fatalities.

Waluigi would be fun, but he's already an Assist Trophy and I don't see them ever giving him more than that.

This probably won't happen either, but the protagonist from DOOM would be fun. I mean, there were so many memes about Doomguy and Isabelle.


Nintendo tweeted out this morning about a new fighter announcement that will be occurring tomorrow! Who are you guys hoping it will be? Personally I'm still holding out hope for.. Hector from FE7. But that's a long shot.
I'd love this too, but whether it's Intelligent Systems or Sakurai calling the shots, I don't see them pulling themselves out of the blue haired anime swordfighter hole they've fallen in. I would absolutely love an axe user like Hector or a lance user like Ephraim but I've kind of given up hope. Heck, I'd love to see a Thief/Assassin like Volke or Jaffar, or a laguz like Ranulf, Tibarn or Naesala. A pure magical unit like Soren, Micaiah or Lysithea. Give us one of the villains, like Gharnef or Arvis or, since he's already in the series as an Assist Trophy, give us The Black Knight as a real heavy, heavy hitting swordy if we have to have swords. Just give us something to represent more of the series, please.

Regardless, with all of the salt from Byleth's release, I'd rather the series lie low until the next game.

---

Since I don't foresee anyone who I'm personally interested in being added, I'll be content with just about anybody they give us...except for Sora from Kingdom Hearts, since I really dislike that series for a few reasons. Even then though, it's just not my cup of tea and other people love it, so I'd be happy for those fans at least. It'd just be one character I wouldn't use among a roster of over 80 other characters.

Hopefully whoever it is will be fun to use and people enjoy them.
 
Please give us a second Xenoblade or Sonic franchise character. It’s about time.
 
Weedle Dee has been highly requested, plus he’s playble in the new Kirby Fighters game.
MH Rise was recently announced for Switch, a hunter has already appeared in a fighting game, so that’d be a cool announcement.
We have two Ori games on Switch, plus Ori is a playable character in Rivals of Aether, recently released on Switch, though I doubt they’ll make Ori a playable character. Maybe a Mii hat if they put Ori in the game.
Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity, coming out this november. Maybe throw in one of the Champions to get people hyped for the new game?

I’d personally would like to see Crash, Spyro, Sora from KH, or Minecraft Steve.

What we’d most likely get? Something completely off everyone’s radar. Like a Goomba or a DS stylus.
 
Despite being a long-time Kirby fan, I DONT exactly want another Kirby rep. Sure, I’d be happy if we got a fourth rep, but I feel like the three we have right now are good enough. Who I really want to see is Steve? from Minecraft. I could see a lot of interesting potential from his potential play set. A rhythm heaven rep would also be cool but is less likely to happen.
 
While I love the series, I'm hoping they don't add another Fire Emblem character as they recently added one. Other franchises need love too!

I saw Waluigi mentioned, and that's a safe pick. I've always wondered why he was the one left out. 😥 If they catered to my unrealistic wishes, I'd love to see Phoenix Wright, Boo, Tingle, or Tails/Shadow.
 
Sora Kingdom Hearts 🗝
I can dream, right? 😌

People are thinking it might be Tracer (Overwatch) due to a "potential leak", but of course we won't know until tomorrow if the source was credible or not

I've seen some people seeming to agree that it'll be another Poke-- wouldn't be surprised tbh. As for me personally? I'd love to see the someone from Hollow Knight-- I know it's pretty much impossible, but fighting as Hornet, the Hollow Knight or the Knight would be cool!
 
Super hype to find out who it is, getting bored of all my mains. please dont let it be fire emblem or overwatch
